Writer/rocker/ex-Jersey girl Jessica Leshnoff is a copywriter and freelance journalist based in Baltimore, MD. This is her blog, created in a fit of over-caffeination and by the urging (and by “urging” we actually mean peer pressure) of dear friend and fabulous food blogger cucina nicolina. When she’s not writing, Jessica can be found drinking coffee, taking city walks (sometimes while drinking coffee), fawning over other people’s puppies (usually while walking), listening to music way too loud in her car, and reapplying frosty lipstick.

Jessica has over a decade of national and regional writing experience. A contributing writer for Baltimore Magazine and regular contributor to AARP.org, she has written for daily, weekly and monthly publications throughout the Washington, DC and Baltimore metro areas, including The Washington Post, The Washington Times, The Washington City Paper, Baltimore Magazine, Urbanite, City Paper, The Gazette Newspapers and American Journalism Review.

Hey jut found your blog via Gay Marriage USA on fb, congratulations on your anniversary, although you ladies could go broke celebrating them all!!! Marriage equality just passed here in New Zealand so the wife and I will have another wedding sometime too, but probably just the two for us.

I found your blog by googling, “rosemary splinter” (lol). I just couldn’t believe I got a piece of rosemary stuck UNDER MY GUMS. I wanted to Google if this phenomenon is common. I died reading your post about rosemary! Although I love it, I will never look at it the same because of my unfortunate mishap and your blog.
